Prices change, so confirm with Firefox Relay before buying. ## Key features - **Email masks:** Each mask forwards to your true address, and you can turn forwarding off for one mask without touching the rest. - **Browser extension:** An add-on creates a mask on a site's sign-up form. The homepage links the Firefox add-on, and masks can be made from the dashboard in other browsers. - **Tracker removal:** Common email trackers are stripped from forwarded mail, and this is included on the free plan. - **Promo blocking:** Premium can block promotional mail while still forwarding receipts and shipping notices. Blocking is not exact, so important mail can occasionally be caught. - **Anonymous replies:** Premium lets you reply to a forwarded email within 3 months of receiving it, and gives a custom mozmail.com mask domain. - **Phone masking:** A phone mask forwards calls and texts to your number and lets you reply to texts. The phone plan is a waitlist. ## Good for - People who want a few throwaway addresses for newsletters and sign-ups - Firefox users who want masks created from inside the browser ## Worth knowing - Premium and phone plans show no price and a Join the Waitlist button, so only the free plan can be signed up for. - The free plan stops at 5 masks and cannot reply from a mask; masks go to your existing inbox. - Mozilla advises against masks for banks, doctors, lawyers and mail with attachments you must receive. - Relay Premium is limited to listed countries, including the US, Canada, the UK and most of the EU. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. Firefox Relay hides your real address behind masks that forward to your inbox, and the free plan covers 5 masks with a browser extension. It can't reply from a mask, and the Premium plan shows no price and a waitlist button. Mozilla itself advises against masks for banks, doctors and lawyers. - **Value for money: C.** The free plan is the only plan you can sign up for. Premium shows no price and a Join the Waitlist button, so there's no price on record. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Free for 5 email masks, the extension and tracker removal. Five masks is a cap you'll hit, and the free plan can't reply from a mask. - **Features: C.** Email masks, a browser extension and tracker removal. Gaps: replies and promo blocking sit on Premium, and phone masking has no price shown. - **Ease of use: B.** No store rating on record. You install the extension and click to make a mask, with nothing else to set up. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web and a browser extension only, with no phone app, desktop app or integrations listed.

What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 45 of the 70 other email apps grade higher. - You could make: Ad and tracker blocking: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Filters that read every message as it arrives. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
